Spontaneous Coronary Sinus Infective Endocarditis in a 9-year-old: a rare case report with a favorable outcome
Coronary sinus infective endocarditis is extremely rare, more so in children. We report a case of coronary sinus infective endo- carditis diagnosed by echocardiography in a 9-year-old boy with no pre-existing heart disease or any of the usual risk factors known to predispose to infective endocarditis. He was successfully managed non-surgically.
